The Poet grew up in New York City in the 1950’s and 1960’s – in his words “a veritable smorgasbord of life situations and circumstances – from the very comedic to the most gut-wrenching”. He comments: “Growing up in that magnificent melting-pot greatly influenced my life with all its quirks and foibles.” Come Drink from My Cup – a compilation of poetry written over a period of 40 years – showcases his humor, love of life, devotion to family and passion for the dramatic interlude. Shortly before his death in 2005, he left a copy of his manuscript with his sister, Juanita. In this post-humus publication, his family shares his unique, life-affirming perspective with the world.view less
